Solve : Computer seems dead?

1.	Solve : Computer seems dead?
Answer» Hope someone has some ideas for a computer 'newbie' The problem with my PC is that it just suddenly went completely dead. When I 'power' it up, nothing at all happens, no beebs, no fans run nothing. I thought it was a power supply problem, so I replaced that and still no joy. Power seems to be getting through as the keyboard power indicator lights up when I turn the power supply on, but nothing else seems to happen. I have noticed that occasionally when I switch the PC on, the CPU fan judders slightly - but then that is it. All the cable connections seem fine.

I press the 'on' button and nothing happens. Somehow the issue occasionally resolves itself when I unplug it and then plug it back in, then press the 'on' button and it will come on. Sometimes this doesn't work - it will act like a car that needs a 'jumpstart', it will just start to turn on, but then it won't. Could this be a power supply issue?Disconnect everything apart from cpu, heatsink & fan, RAM, graphics CARD and monitor. Now start the pc and come back and let use know what happens. Could be that your cpu fan has died, but lets see.

The problem with my PC is that it just suddenly went completely dead. When I 'power' it up, nothing at all happens, no beebs, no fans run nothing. I thought it was a power supply problem, so I replaced that and still no joy. Power seems to be getting through as the keyboard power indicator lights up when I turn the power supply on, but nothing else seems to happen.
